I heard about this courtesy of an email from Paul Hodges, which is why I'm so late to the thread. I don't have much to say, because I'm as shocked and saddened as everyone else. NemZ was less than a decade older than me and should have had decades of life ahead of him. To pass away from a "sudden illness" at 38 is beyond tragic. And yes, this forum just won't be the same without him. Not at all.

Rest in Peace, NemZ. You'll be missed. My deepest condolences to your family and friends. You truly were "Like a boss".

I haven't been around for a long while, but I wanted to express my condolences too. NemZ was the kind of guy who always said what was on his mind and never held back with anyone. Whether we agreed or disagreed I always thought he had something to say. I'm really lost for words and feel as floored by the news as everyone else. RIP.

Everytime I come to this form I expect to see another one of his comments and then it hits me that I never will again. . . And I am made incredibly sad.

If anything, I think I'll regret not talking to him more; when Xard got temp banned and I got agitated, he was straight there in response to it. It's somethings that these days, I respect. Quite quick and forthwith, he just wanted to get the issue resolved. In a way, I think I find myself fortunate to have interacted with this man before he passed.

As a person who probably had one of the more tumultuous relationships with the man, this really broke me up. Wish nothing but the best for his family, and his legacy here will always be as a titan of discussion in the glory days of this site. He's done more for the understanding of the series and the quality of the debate here then we'll ever be able to fully appreciate. His aesthetic sense was top-notch his well. Was immensely looking forward to PMing him my thesis, and checking on the site now this is really crushing. He was a good man, and he left us sooner than I think any of us would've wanted.

I've been checking in the last couple of weeks but it wasn't until today that I saw the thread about NemZ's passing..I am deeply saddened by this news And offer my sincerest condolences to his family. I've been a member here since 2013 and even though I hardly post I still enjoyed being caught up on all the major topics, and always looked forward to his posts and thoughts on any particular subject. His presence will be missed.

I wanted to restart a discussion on one of my old threads. Only to read through it to find out NemZ had contributed extensively to it. So I feel it would be Gauche to restart a discussion he was involved in if he's not here anymore. . .
